==================================
I find no special exemption for Israel.
And I find no evidence of treason.
The author, Stephen Foster, Jr., a frequent chat room poster, is quite expert at "assuming the conclusion" or "circular reasoning".
Greed is not treason.
Neither is stupidity.
Senator Cotton has a history also.
"New York Times "espionage letter"[edit]
In June 2006, while stationed in Iraq, Cotton gained international public attention after he emailed a letter to The New York Times, criticizing the paper's publication of an article detailing a Bush administration secret program monitoring terrorists' finances. The newspaper ignored his letter, but it was published in Power Line, a prominent conservative blog which had been copied on the email.
In the letter, Cotton called for the journalists responsible for the newspaper article to be imprisoned for espionage. He asserted that the newspaper had "gravely endangered the lives of my soldiers and all other soldiers and innocent Iraqis here." The article was widely circulated online and reprinted in full in several newspapers.[22] The letter reached General Peter Schoomaker, Chief of Staff of the United States Army, who forwarded it via e-mail to all his generals, stating: "Attached for your information are words of wisdom from one of our great lieutenants in Iraq ..."[23] Cotton said in an interview that after meeting with his immediate commander, he was "nervous and worried all night long" about losing his position and even worse, possibly being court-martialed. When he finally met the battalion commander, he was simply told "Well, here’s a piece of advice: You’re new here. No one’s trying to infringe on your right to send a letter or whatnot. But next time, give your chain of command a heads-up."[3][23]
Another "Harvard Lawyer" who finds his politics defined by necessity.
It is amusing of course that having found others guilty of "espionage" he should be accused of "treason".
